Things that levitate are cool 🙂 The levitating clock is no exception to this. It floats with the help of a magnetic field and tells the time also. With the help of a rotating mechanism it will also slowly rotate in the magnetic field also which provides even more entertainment.
To get it working you plug it in, hold the clock in the “sweet spot” and let go. If you get it right it will stay there and float around.
For just $24.99 you could wake up to the old 80’s style Mario game tunes with this Super Mario alarm clock. It is shaped in the form of an old NES 8-bit controller and even features a bonus game on the small LCD clock front.
Projection clocks are kind of ok but you really have to squint to be able to see the time. However, the Oregon Scientific Projection Clock is different. This clock’s projector is light sensative and can adjust accordingly to the various light levels that change through out the day. The clock looks quite cool and I wouldnt mind having this in the house. What ads more to it’s coolness is the ability to wave your hand at the sensor to change display settings and even turn off the alarm. That last part is not good for me though… I need the alarm to keep going 🙂
The face of the clock is a black smooth surface which shows the time and temperature and ads to the sleekness of the clock.

Kind of cool in a weird way is the new digital clock t-shirt. It’s basically a standard t-shirt with a big digital clock built in the front. How many of you think that a wearer of one of these is in for the typical cheesy jokes that can be associated with one wearing this 🙂
It is powered by 4 AAA batteries hidden away and lasts about 1.5 – 2 days at a push. It can also be switched off should you want to save power for later.
